‘A Shared Language’: Inside Country Music’s Rap Revival
Country music's rap revival on the charts has grown in recent years — with Jelly Roll, BigXthaPlug, Post Malone and more leading the charge.
Post Malone’s Big Ass Stadium Tour with Jelly Roll — two artists with roots in hip-hop now making country music — has so far featured special guests including Eminem and Quavo.
